Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that is used to help accelerate the healing of damaged tissue. 

Stem cells are cells that have not yet matured, which allows them to differentiate into various types of cells.  This treatment can help to repair and regenerate areas of the body that have degenerated.

Stem cells can be found in high concentrations in the bone marrow and adipose fat tissue. Once the stem cells are collected, they are then processed and concentrated.  The final product can then be injected into the painful area to help treat the injured aera. 

One of the most common indications for stem cell therapy is for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA).  OA is inflammation of the bone due to the deterioration of cartilage.  Cartilage allows your bones to glide along one another allowing for smooth motion. In advanced osteoarthritis, the cartilage can wear thin and eventually progress to being bone on bone. This can be painful and lead to significant limitations in activity levels. Stem cell therapy is an option available to target these areas.

This therapy has been used to treat conditions like joint arthritis, ligament sprains, bursitis, degenerative discs tendonitis and much more. Consult with your pain physician to see if you are a candidate.
